Nice and Sleazys. Add to that Buckfast infused food such as burgers. Way off the mark but I'm sure the trend will reach whatever annex of the Central Belt in a few years, perhaps around the same time as colour TV 41 minutes ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: Fucking 'mon then.

I was an avid tonic drinker at the time and the amount of folk who seen it behind the bar and bought me a wee glass of it then sat there waiting for me to drink it like they were performing some sort of weird experiment was mental. I honestly dont know what some folk think Buckfast is/does to you but it was a very strange situation, which I was able to endure on the basis that I was getting free tonic Edited June 9, 2021 by Bairnardo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 If Edinburgh is the Central Belt then surely all the places that have effectively become bedroom communities for Edinburgh are included too, which now includes Dunfermline and has long included it's surrounding area. Inverkeithing is a 20 minute train ride from the centre of Edinburgh. To suggest all of Fife isn't included while rural market towns like Ayr are included is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I once was in a pub that did Bucky Bombs, instead of Jager and Red Bull it was Buckfast and Irn Bru. Was horrid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr/Prestwick has actual stuff in them that people from outside the area travel to race course, beach, airport. The movement of people between the places is surely what defines the central belt which is basically the economic areas of the two major cities plus Falkirk scraping in. It's also on a different level of civilization to Cowdenbeath, Methil or Glenthroses. They would be comparable to Saltcoats or Ardrossan which are definitely not central belt.

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 If we want some OFFICIAL guidance we can look to Scottish Parliament regions. Lothian, Central Scotland, Glasgow are in the Central Belt. Mid Scotland and Fife, South Scotland, Highland and North East Scotland are not. West Scotland is the only controversial area imo. We have to go constituency by constituency Clydebank and Milngavie - yes Cunninghame North - No Cunninghame South - No Dumbarton - No Eastwood - Yes Greenock and inverclyde - No Paisley - Yes Renfrewshire North and West - Yes Renfrewshire South - Yes Strathkelvin and Bearsden - Yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
